CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO, Oct. 90 Special Telegram to
the BEE. -CATTLE-Although natives were
really scarce, there seems to be
sufficient number for the wants of
trade. There were no prime No.
steers among the fresh arrivals, and
but few that were really good. Light me-
dium rangers, such as had to compete with
the best rangers, were not wanted, unless at
ruinous prices. Statesmen and owners that
had that class on the market were really
unlucky. Canning Texans are the lowest
since 1878, and that is saying a good deal.
Rangers on sale were of fair to good quality
and such as suited the dressed beef trade
sold fully as well as last week, but the low
grades and such as are going into the dis
tilleries had to go for what they would
bring. Native butchers stock was down to
low water mark. AS is usual on Mon
and feeder line prices ranged as
follows: shippng steers 1850 to 1900 lbs,
&360G5.05; 1900 to 1850 lbs S3.30@4.4 40; $50

How a Car Was Lost and Found.

Denver Republican,: About two
months ago an east-bound freight train
over the Union Pacific broke in two
near Laramie City while going down
hill in the night time. The front half
going around a curve, whipped off the
rear car, which went rolling down q
steep embankment. The car was filed
with choice silks, and yet its departure
from the front end was so clean and un-
attended by any unusual shock that the
train men did not notice it. They
coupled up again and went on to Chey-
enne where the loss was discovered.
Since that time search has been made
for the car along the whole line without
avail. Last week cowboy found a car
lying behind big pile of rocks and
covered with bushes down deep draw.
He CHANGED to be going to the nearest
station, and casually asked the agent
why the company didn't clear up that
wreck. The agent accompanied him
back and discovered that it was the
missing car. Aside from being broken
in at the sides slightly the car was not
damaged, and it's valuable contents were
found intact.

New YoRK, Oct. 3l.-[Special Telegram to
the BEE. E.l-SrocKs-The bears made sharp
drive at Missouri Pacific and knocked it off
2A points, Kirkner, Durand and other large
room traders leading the attack, which lasted
until noon, when they withdrew and it raj
lied Ec, but fell away &c. Kansas & Texas
declined l4c in sympathy with Missouri Pa.
Cihc. Aside from the weakness in these two
properties there was nothing of importance
in the transactions. There was no news to
cause any material change in the general list.
Trading was fair and mainly professional.
London bought st. Paul, Louisville & Nash
vile, Norfolk & Western preferred, Reading,
and Union Pacific. The bears talked very
encouragngly Of their ability to hold their
own, and the short interest was said to have
been materially increased. News about rate
cutting in the west was abundant, but the
Changers were fairly well supported and sold
Mt a fractional advance during early trading,
but about noon began to gradually weaken
and dropped off 19@Sec. "Coalers" and West
ern Union were the strongest properties on
the list, Lackawanna advancing &c, while
Reading held its own. Connor was credited
with buying Western Union and it sold up
&c, but broke sac. About 2 o'clock weak
feeling set in. Missouri Pacific was the
weakest and dropped ls4c more. The rest of
the list went off I.@hc Earnings keep up
fairly, but they cut no figure in the market,
their effect being already discounted. The
gross earnings of twenty-seven roads for the
second week Of October aggregate IS, s45, ,2S4,

of last year, an increase Of $555, ,46l, or llk

A STARTLING PREDICTION.
What May be the Result oil ths
Natural Gas Boom.

Two hundred years ago IN emma
there was Just such craze about nat
ural gas as we have in this country
to-day. Gas wells were sunk with as
much vim and vigor as the celestlais
were capable of, but owing to a gas
explosion that killed several mil
lions of people and tore up
and destroyed a large district OF
country, leaving a large inland sea,
known on the maps as Lake Foo
Chang. the boring of any more gas
wells was then and there prohibited
bv law. 1t seems, according to the
Chinese history, that many large and
heavy pressure gas wells were struck,
and in some districts wells were sunk
nuite near to each other. Gas was
lighted as soon as struck, as is dohe IN
this country. 1t is stated that one
we'll with its unusual pressure, by In,
PRODUCTION or back draught, pulled
down into the earth the burning gas OF
a smaller well. resulting in a dreadful
exnlosion of large district,
DESTROYING the inhabitants there
of. Lake Foo Chang rests on this dis
trict. The same catastrophy is i'm
minent in this country unless the
laws restrict further developments in
boring SO many wells. Should sim
liar explosion occur there will be such
an upheaval as will dwarf the most
terrible earthquakes ever known.
The country along the gas belt from
Toledo through Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky will be ripped up to the
depth of 1900 to 1900 feet, and Topped
over like a pancake, leaving a chasm
through which the waters OF Lake
Erie will come bowling down, filling
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, and
blotting them out forever.
